[Flashcoders] streaming mp3s not consistent
hi guys
i have a quick question regarding streaming mp3s.
I have several (hundred) dynamically loaded mp3s that i've been
streaming into flash using the following code:
NOTE: AS2
[code]
private function startMouth():Void
{
var avatarSound:Sound = new Sound();
avatarSound.loadSound(mp3, true);
avatarSound.onSoundComplete = Delegate.create(this, stopMouth);
}
[/code]
mp3 is a getter that grabs the property _mp3 which is set dynamically
before the method
the problem i'm having is that the mp3s don't always stream fully and
can stop before the end (and because of this, the onSoundComplete
never fires).
This is for a high-use application so we expect high server-load and
spikes which makes me think that streaming might not be the best way -
the mp3s are between 5-8k each so i was thinking that preloading them
individually before use might be better
would you agree with this or is there a better way of doing this?
thanks a lot
alz

Re: [Flashcoders] working with getPixel32 and setPixel32,
Hi, I think you need to shift by 24 for alpha, you also need to shift then mask the value. RGB is just the bottom three bytes masked and shifting by 1 rather than divide by 2 may be faster, but google for the speed comparisons in AS3 - I think John Grden may have blogged this: var a:uint = (val 24) 0xff; var rgb:uint = val 0xff; a = a 1; var newval:uint = (a 32) | rgb; It would be a good learning exercise to do your own equations for manipulating pixel stuff, but have a look at Mario Klingemann's blog - quasimondo.com - for tips and tricks with images as he is one of the best people at manipulating bitmaps in Flash so he may have some nice examples to stimulate you. For simpler manipulation have a google. Also, if you are just setting the alpha to 50% for the whole bitmap, it may be quicker to do this on the MovieClip because FlashPlayer might be optimising composition somehow, but I understand this may just be an example.

[Flashcoders] AS2 Memory / CPU usage
Hi, I have inherited an app which is very AS1 / AS2 timeline based and runs on a Linux kiosk box. Debugging the app today, I have noticed that the CPU usage spikes after a while and the whole application slows down. This seems to be when loading data from XML Sockets repeatedly, so I am guessing it may be a memory issue. Is there any way of delving into the system deeper to find out what the problem may be? Does anyone have any pointers to info or articles on what happens with FP memory CPU when you jump backwards and forwards in a timeline which references instances created on certain frames and global / _root objects functions? Does FP9 do memory management for AVM1?

Re: [Flashcoders] working with getPixel32 and setPixel32,
hi Glen,
Kudos for the shift 1 operation, knew that was a faster operand.
However, this code is still now working, now it simply doesn't change
anything...
:(
var val:uint = getPixel32(x,y);
var a:uint = (val 24) 0xff;
var rgb:uint = val 0xff;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 32) | rgb;
setPixel32(x,y,newval);
I also tried changing it to say:
...
var rgb:uint = val 0x00ff;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 24) | rgb;
...
since I thought that was an error maybe, but that also doesn't influence
the alpha of the pixel...
:(
Out of desperation I also tried:
var a:uint = val 0xff00;
var rgb:uint = val 0x00f;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = a | rgb;
and
var a:uint = val 0xff00;
var rgb:uint = val 0x00f;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 24) | rgb;
:(
sniff...
Setting alpha for the whole MC is not an option for what I am doing. I'm
trying to create trails behind things that are moving by having a
video-burn like effect; by operating on the pixel level. At the moment I
am using code from 'Adventures in AS', but once i have it working I'll
encapsulate it and use it in a different project.

Re: [Flashcoders] sizing an arbitrary loaded swf
PD: I think someone at Flash_Tiger just found a way simpler and more straight forward means to get the stage size: Try loaderInfo.width and loaderInfo.height. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/LoaderInfo.html Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/10/5, Juan Pablo Califano [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Andrew, I'm not sure were the problem could be, but checking both swf's I got 640x480 and 600x200, which seems right. If I open the swf standalone (I mean double clicking on it), the player opens it with those dimensions. Plus, I've converted the to fla just to check the dimensions and I got back the same values. What the swf header contains is the size of the stage, or, in other words, the size you set for the fla document at author time (if you're using the Flash IDE; in that case, it's the numbers you set using the size button in the properties panel). I've also checked with another player from youtube and the size of the swf is 480x387, which seems to match with the rebuilt fla and with what I see in the site. Maybe those swf's are being scaled, cropped or masked by other means ? (when embedding, for instance) It's just a thought, anyway, perhaps if you post the url of the page that contains those swfs, someone is able to figure out why there's a difference between what you see on the screen and the swf's stage size. Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/10/5, Andrew Sinning [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Juan Pablo, I just got back to this problem and tested your SwfHeader class. From the few tests that I've run, this returns exactly the same dimensions that the LoaderInfo class does. I'm still stuck. Here's an example of a swf on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/v/C7PH3GVj104 The LoaderInfo/SwfHeader dimensions are 640x320, but the actual dimensions appear to be 320x180. This swf http://client.shoutlet.com/static/imageplayer/viewer.php?config=http://client.shoutlet.com/file/64/5863.xml Looks to be actually 400x200 but the LoaderInfo/SwfHeader dimensions are 600x200.

Re: [Flashcoders] working with getPixel32 and setPixel32,
Hi,
If I haven't misread something, this
a = a 1;
makes no sense. Unless you're trying to divide alpha by 2, in which case I
obviously missed something.
If you want to extract the 4 components, you can use something like this:
var hexaValue:int = 0x9100ff33;
var a:int = (hexaValue 24) 0xff;
var r:int = (hexaValue 16) 0xff;;
var g:int = (hexaValue 8) 0xff;;
var b:int = hexaValue 0xff;
var newAlpha:int = 0xcc;
var copyHexaValue:int = newAlpha 24 | r 16 | g 8 | b;
trace(uint(copyHexaValue).toString(16)); // traces cc00ff33
If you don't bother to get the individual RGB components, just the alpha
channel, try this:
var hexaValue:int = 0x9100ff33;
var a:int = (hexaValue 24) 0xff;
var arg:int = hexaValue 0xff;
var newAlpha:int = 0xcc;
copyHexaValue = newAlpha 24 | arg;
trace(uint(copyHexaValue).toString(16));// traces cc00ff33
Also, I'm casting to uint just to display the value in a more
meaningful/readable way in the trace, but as long as you don't perform
arithmetic on those values, you don't have to (because it's parsed as a bit
pattern, not as numerical value, if that makes sense...).

hi Glen,
Kudos for the shift 1 operation, knew that was a faster operand.
However, this code is still now working, now it simply doesn't change
anything...
:(
var val:uint = getPixel32(x,y);
var a:uint = (val 24) 0xff;
var rgb:uint = val 0xff;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 32) | rgb;
setPixel32(x,y,newval);
I also tried changing it to say:
...
var rgb:uint = val 0x00ff;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 24) | rgb;
...
since I thought that was an error maybe, but that also doesn't influence
the alpha of the pixel...
:(
Out of desperation I also tried:
var a:uint = val 0xff00;
var rgb:uint = val 0x00f;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = a | rgb;
and
var a:uint = val 0xff00;
var rgb:uint = val 0x00f;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 24) | rgb;
:(
sniff...
Setting alpha for the whole MC is not an option for what I am doing. I'm
trying to create trails behind things that are moving by having a video-burn
like effect; by operating on the pixel level. At the moment I am using code
from 'Adventures in AS', but once i have it working I'll encapsulate it and
use it in a different project.
The original source is:

And my current draft-code modification is:

import flash.geom.Rectangle;
public class Starfield
{
var mc:MovieClip =new MovieClip();

var stars:Array=new Array();
var antal:Number=500;
public function Starfield(timeline)
{
screendata=new BitmapData(320,240,false,0x);
var screen:Bitmap=new Bitmap(screendata);
mc.addChild(screen);

(x,y);
var a:uint = (val 24) 0xff;
var rgb:uint = val 0xff;
a = a 1;
var newval:uint = (a 24) | rgb;
screendata.setPixel32(x,y,newval);
}
}
Re: [Flashcoders] working with getPixel32 and setPixel32,
PD:
Sorry, even though the result is the same, to make more sense the second
sample should read:
var hexaValue:int = 0x9100ff33;
var a:int = (hexaValue 24) 0xff;
var rgb:int = hexaValue 0xff;
var newAlpha:int = 0xcc;
copyHexaValue = newAlpha 24 | rgb;
trace(uint(copyHexaValue).toString(16));// traces cc00ff33
Using rgb as the name of the var that stores the value of the RGB
components, instead of arg.
